Music is an important part of the curriculum, and is offered at Keystage Three and GCSE level.

The aim of the department is to develop pupil’s knowledge, understanding and skills in Music. This is done through performance, composing and listening activities.

Pupils are also encouraged to take part in extracurricular activities such as the Choir and Orchestra. These meet on a weekly basis after school and take part at all major functions throughout the school year.

There is also opportunity for pupils to learn to play an orchestral instrument, guitar and drum kit. Lessons are provided by peripatetic staff who come into school every week. Pupils receiving lessons are encouraged to do external exams such as ‘Associated Board of the Royal School of Music’ and ‘Trinity Guildhall’.
